One of my very favorite blogs, Cottage in the Oaks, is celebrating her one year blogoversary with a fantastic giveaway! Make sure you head over and enter to win. But before you do that, take some time to check out her blog, it is really amazing. I love her sense of style, which I would describe as beachy/cottagey (I know that isn't a real word, but you know what I mean!). She writes about crafting, food and general interest things. I always look forward to what she has to say and what new idea she has come up with! I am constantly amazed at the level of creativity she has and am in awe. I have copied many of her projects and her tutorials are easy to follow and photographed well, which is not true of all blogs. She also has an amazing Etsy shop, so make sure you check that out as well.

Okay, I think you can tell I am a true fan of the blog, but I know you want to hear about the giveaway, right? Who doesn't want the chance to win free swag?! Well, I will give you a tease about what she is offering, but you have to head over here to see it all! I will say it is valued at over $500, which is a very generous gift to her followers.

Some of the items included in the giveaway are; A mini tabletop French cafe chalkboard, A European grain sack Candle jar cover, A set of four EAT napkins and A personalized leather cuff to name just SOME of the beautiful things included in this package!

Hello Maureen,I am so happy that we connected thru Kristin’s blog Homespun With Love. I am happy to share with you my natural and healthy lifestyle alternatives. We love being green in our household. Let me know if you have questions about my products? Thanks for taking the time to leave your lovely comment on my blog.Smiles, Paula

Thanks for the comment left on my blog as part of the The Scrapbook Kitchen NSD blog hop. It is much appreciated and I will be drawing the winner later today along with a pic of what the winner has won.

If you were looking for the follow me button (it seemed to have disappeared) I have re-added it so those that want to can keep up with what I am up to. I'm not a post every day person, but I do post regularly.

You sound like a busy lady :) I'll have to check out this giveaway, too. I wanted to hop in and wish you good luck on my giveaway at papercraftpleasures....:) Have a beautiful Friday and Holiday weekend :) Jan

Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I do not have a chronic illness (although stress with our adoptions over the years caused me to believe I had fibromyalgia) and I'm sorry for your difficulties. Crafting and scrapbooking is such healing work, isn't it? God bless you.

Maureen, thanks so much for stopping by during the Rubber Cafe-Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Blog hop! (wow that was a mouthfull)It was really a run blog hop to participate in, as both products were really great to work with. I'm happy it inspired you, and glad to hear you'll be back again! I'm new to blogging and find I am enjoying the ability to share ideas, and things I love with others who enjoy the arts and crafting as well! Have a great day...

I will go over and check out her blog, I love a good blogger! Thank you for your comment on my flowers, hope you get to stop by tomorrow when I show off the water lilies, I do so love living in NC! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
